there's your answer. These things can only work when they're run as a service, and only the state can afford to do that. I like railways. If I was king of the world I'd ban cars and build more railways. Especially when I get a free ticket to Paris just because they're an hour late, as happened this weekend. :o) Bob -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
